Methodology for optimizing quadrat size in sparse vegetation surveys: A desert case study from the Tarim Basin.
Random sampling is an important approach to field vegetation surveys. However, sampling surveys in desert areas are difficult because determining an appropriate quadrat size that represent the sparse and unevenly distributed vegetation is challenging. In this study, we present a methodology for quad...
